RE: [Paddlewise] paddle sizing heresy - fun

I've paddled both Greenland and Euro and find both can be as "fun" as you
wish to make them.  I started paddling with the "TOKSOOK" (Derek H's design)
a couple of years ago.  I find it to be great compromise between a standard
Greenland Stick and a Euro blade offering many of the benefits each has to
offer.  Though a bit heavier it is VERY durable.

It is the person that has fun, not the paddle. Don't blame the paddle
if you can't have as much fun with it. :-)
